Talk by Tony Bell of the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at UC Berkeley. Given to the Foundations of Mind seminar at UC Berkeley (http://foundationsofmind.org/).
Abstract I explore the most likely correct idea that there is continuous information transfer from the micro to the macro and vice versa in living systems. I describe the mechanisms the brain uses to gate these information flows (from field potentials to water and quantum) and discuss the implications for our field(s).
